That teach me for skim reading #-o

I read it at first as he was mp 52

Oh snap!!! Arcee is one of the ones I've been waiting for.

Is there a pic out there that doesn't cut off robot mode? Looks like she's going to have a huge backpack

Finally, FINALLY a MP Arcee!
THAT one I've been waiting for ages. I was always tempted to get me a 3P one, but there was always something that irked me with every single one of them. Let's hope Takara knock it out of the park!

This is unexpected but good news! I've been torturing myself over whether to spring for Fanstoys Rouge after recently being disappointed by Ocular Max Azalea. Hopefully the official version can serve as the definitive MP-scale Arcee in my display!

As for Tigatron, I thought I saw rumours of an MP-Rattrap coming this year, as it is supposedly the year of the rat or something. I'm guessing that's out the window now that Tigatron has been announced?

Looks like the Legends (Titans Return) version, as a placeholder.

I would say yes it is, with a but, as if appears to be TF Legends Blurr, which of course, is just Titans Returns Blurr in a spiffy new paint job.

very nice, will have to look into these two

So for all those who were saying Takara was keeping the MP 50 number for something REALLY special, well ... you were right. MP Tigertron!!!!!!

Nice, MP Arcee looks good and better than the third party stuff (tho im still liking the upcoming top heavy gundamish one) and looks good with out headlights.

Looking forward to seeing what accesories come with Tigertron but already dreading the price.

It's not just Blurr being used as a placeholder, Legends Kup/Char with Recoil as well as one of the Takara Generations Springers (TG I think by the color of the gun) are on the right side as well.

After all these years. Arcee looks perfect and Tigatron is spot on too.

She look perfect... from afar.
I'm looking forward detailed shots and the unavoidable video reviews for how she feel overall. Will she beat the 3 third party options that are available right now? I sincerely hope so.

Nice to see that some extra tooling has been done to Tigatron to make him a bit taller than Cheetor, I thought for about a second that it was a completely original mould, but I recognise some parts from Cheetor in there.

I call that it's either a new mold based on the Cheetor skeleton, or a very heavy Cheetor retool.

I think Tigatron may share engineering rather then being a retool, especially given the size difference between the two.

Yeah, he can't be a retool since the parts being bigger means all the tooling had to be made new just for him.

Unlike Cheetor, Tigatron's tiger head appears to be the same one in both beast mode and robot mode, which makes sense since Mainframe didn't reshape his tiger head between each mode like they reshaped Cheetor's cheetah head.
